Neotech solid vs Dueland tinned vintage - spades? bananas? nothing? No termination is the best termination.I agree completely with jaymark. | |
CODA vs Hegel Coda has been well respected outside the US for decades. Interest in the US has increased only recently. Coda is currently backordered on all amps for at least a month, maybe more. | |
Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget Legacy Audio. Relatively efficient, sound great with tubes.Do not buy GoldenEar without an audition. Some folks like them, others not so much. | |
AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 Kingko KA101 Pro. | |
Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? Yes, both systems.Coda 06x > Coda 07x > ATC SCM100ASLT.Herron VTPH-2A > Herron VTSP-360 > Herron M2 monos > Larsen 8.2.The only upgrade I'm planning is to replace the Larsen 8.2 speakers with Larsen 9. | |
New speaker suggestion Of all the above suggestions, Legacy Focus HD speakers offer the best value as well as being a great match with your Pass amps (even better with Coda). Made in the US with outstanding cabinet/veneer construction. | |
When A Lightening Strike Blows Your Power Company’s Transformer Off Its Utility Pole ……… The Environmental Potentials EP-2050 does more than a standard whole house surge protector. In addition to surge protection it provides waveform correction and conditioning. My unit has been operating perfectly for over fifteen years.I brought it ... | |
Question for those with Tannoy experience Try and audition a Fyne Audio model in your price range. The company was founded by ex-Tannoy folks. A friend of mine replaced Tannoy Canterbury speakers with the much less costly Fyne F703 speakers. | |
Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Coda CSi Balanced. Try and compare to the Pass integrated amps. You may be pleasantly surprised. | |
Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? +2 on the ATC SCM40v2 (a used pair would fall into the OPs price range). They clearly beat Spatials (can't remember which model) and Salk Soundbeat 3s in a direct comparison. | |
preamp for manley +2 Jumbo Shrimp.I've also used a Coda 07x with the Snappers. More expensive but worth it. | |
Tannoy Prestige Turnberry GR Limited Edition or ProAc D 30 R o RS Fyne Audio is a new speaker company founded by ex-Tannoy engineers. I know one individual who prefers and purchased the F703 to replace his Tannoy Canterbury speakers. The F! series should be even better. | |
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers Yes they are being offered with the full factory warranty. | |
Sound and quality of Legacy Speakers Both the larger Legacy and ATC speakers can do structural damage. Certainly blow out your eardrums before they are even close to distorting. I'm an old rocker so nothing else will do in my home. | |
what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. +2 on the Graham 2.2 which I still own and use. I also own and like SME and Rega arms.I used to own a Morch DP-6 on a Verdier turntable and found that to also be a good arm for the money. |
